Eric Holder joins Lisa Jackson, Lois Lerner, Obama administration in gun control push, Labor Department officials, and many others in the administration in using a pseudonym in emails and Twitter to hide their identity. Obviously, Hillary Clinton hid here information from Freedom of Information Act requests in other ways. From Fox News:

“I was floored,” said investigative journalist Jason Leopold, who received a batch of “heavily redacted” documents through a FOIA lawsuit this week. At the top was a letter, announcing that “emails in the enclosed documents which use the account name ‘Lew Alcindor’ (Abdul-Jabbar) denote emails to or from Attorney General Eric Holder.”

“People may say, ‘what’s the big deal?’ but this is so important,” Leopold tells FoxNews.com. He insists that using an alias might complicate document searches, pointing out that the emails he received don’t even mention Holder’s name.

“It raises the question of whether they are trying to thwart public records requests and the Federal Records Act. It just seems shady.” . . .
